    After watching Fletcher for Scotland tonight and seeing the goal, I think he plays so much better with another striker

    Didn't see him tonight, but I thought he worked very well with Doyle at times in a piss poor side.

    Watching the Yanks now, just conceded to Antigua & Barbuda, shocking.

    I'm one of the few amongst my mates who actually appreciates Man City being in the league and loves them! The chance to see Yaya, Aguero, Balotelli week in week out, yes please. And they give the hope of seeing Ronaldo ( I wish), Falcao etc etc, I just love them and eagerly anticipate every transfer window hoping they sign someone immense!

    They mean even less! Look at Englands position, it's shambolic.

    The ranking systems simply do not look at enough factors to have any kind of realism, there are at least 8 teams below us on the list that would beat us consistently.

    If Falcao goes to Chelsea, as rumoured, and they go 4-4-2, they will win the league.

    He & Torres would be terrific together, combined with the creativity & pace, they would be unstoppable, they already are close to the Manc sides this year.

    Scotlands goal come from a long punt, Fletcher had dropped off and won the header, which sent Morrison (Saha, a pacy striker?) through on goal and he banged it in.

    I think they will win the league anyway, PROVIDED Torres stays fit. But you're right, that partnership would put it beyond doubt. I feel Lukaku could have done well with Torres too, but good for him that he moved for first team football.

    I don't know if Saha gets about enough to be the man running on anymore, could Frazier be worth a punt in a 4-4-2, I know he looks way short at the minute, but maybe worth looking?

    I maintain we should look at Morrison, the lad has smashing tekkers, and would link the wings, centre & forwards nicely.

    Canny passer & finisher to boot.
